Protection for the super wealthy, continued punishment on the rest of us. We'll just keep paying our taxes, no big. 😒 Trump pardons convicted  Binance founder www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This provides a red line as to "news" sources that should, never, ever, EVER be taken seriously.

It flies under the radar because it is overwhelmed by the sheer repulsiveness of the physical destruction of the east wing, but there is no way that a president should be allowed to use private money to change public property. It circumvents the power of the purse.

oops we don't have a Constitutional republic any more

several days later and how does the louvre not have any video released of the baguetteaway

Real banana republic vibes, here

I agree with this. There are a lot of people out there who think both parties are the same and if Democrats put a show of pushing out people with Nazi tattoos and shitty text messages and abused employees then all of a sudden you're making inroads.

Using his power for good. ❤️

The inflatable costume thing with the protesters is really good because it renders the body armor/CoD weaponry aesthetic of the ICE Nazis even more ridiculous than it already was. Suiting up like Rambo to face down a dancing frog. No coming back from that

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related. He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Iowa City

Difficult to capture just how many people are here on the capitol grounds here at No Kings, Des Moines, Iowa. #NoKings #Iowa

They showed up in North Kingstown, too! #rhodeisland #nokings

Had a great time at the #CantonGA #NoKings #protest this morning! I'm worn out but very encouraged by the huge turnout & support from this decidedly #Republican area. Remember: vote for @peterhubbardga.bsky.social & #AliciaJohnson for #PSC! @votesaveamerica.crooked.com @cherokeedemsga.bsky.social

Organizers say more than 10,000 people have turned out for the No Kings rally at the Atlanta Civic Center in Georgia. The actual number could be closer to 12,000, says Laura Judge with Indivisible North Metro, which is one of the event's organizers. (Photo by @alander.bsky.social)

Undeterred by rain, the protesters held signs and marched across downtown St. Louis, St. Louis and St. Charles counties and the Metro East.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

When the Birmingham, Alabama, march is packed, you know something is up in America!

Same here in ruby-red Hendersonville, North Carolina. Massive crowd, great energy, inventive signs.

Demonstrators in Flint, Michigan turn out for a No Kings rally. Michigan Advance will have additional coverage from Lansing and Detroit. States Newsroom has live No Kings coverage from across the nation: www.newsfromthestates.com

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go! Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest. /1

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

Between santos and Argentina, feels like trump is really overplaying his hand

meanwhile, in season three of The Diplomat, the president is reading Autocracy Inc

Well, there's no longer a Duke of York. Could someone tell King Charles I'm available for Duchess? I don't even need a castle or anything, and I'd even live in York just to make it more legit!

Probably worth noting that both Vance and Trump have been “joking” about murdering fishermen in these strikes.

Why no general strike? Please ask how long you are willing to strike from your current job? Are you an at-will employee? How much savings do you currently have?

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Wikipedia, while not perfect, is truly one of the best things on the web. Donate a little bit to them, even just a few dollars, because we can't allow it to become obsolete in favor of AI answers.

And there you have it. These strikes are clearly not legal. Pete will push commanders aside until he finds one who won’t question these extrajudicial killings. #SOUTHCOM

About 1 in 4 U.S. adults worry they or someone close to them could be deported, according to a June @pewresearch.org survey.

Like Batman, except a giant NFL shield shaped light in the night sky.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Imagine being a Democrat in a position of leadership and not endorsing this dude

Ominous. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Excuse -- the fuck -- me?

Joe Flacco's still got it. During that drive he saw down the field as well as he ever has.

Release The Amphibians!

Not only that he's making things more dangerous for Jewish people. But I'm pretty sure he's fully aware of that.

Everyone agrees that we're currently in a dotcom era-like AI bubble. People disagree what sort of bubble it is. There are 3 stories one can tell about the dotcom crash: a startup story, a telecom story, and an accounting fraud story. My take: it's giving Enron open.substack.com/pub/davekarp...

Feels quaint, almost cliché, to say this about a Trump action, but just for the record: This is all illegal, the President can't simply disregard the laws passed and agencies created by Congress, and both Vought & Trump would be impeached if the Constitution or the rule of law mattered to the GOP.

Many things this Administration has done are dangerous to humans. This one is dangerous to humans and to democracy. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Pentagon beat reporters have been handing in their press passes all day long today. It is one of the most striking examples of news media solidarity we've seen this year.

And again, polling and opinions are useful to understand politics, but let's have some actual science. Why are they talking to a farmer who drinks raw milk??? www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

This article infuriates me because it lets a bunch of voters who understandably don't know how power prices work tell us why they think prices are rising instead of EXPLORING THE ACTUAL REASONS WHY. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

Old enough to remember when scenes like this would have been unthinkable in America. (It was 9 months ago)

This is not what Nancy Pelosi meant, and is in fact EXACTLY THE FUCKING OPPOSITE of what she meant. When Pelosi said that, she meant "strong" in the sense of actually being resistant to exactly this shit so that when they inevitably sometimes win they aren't literally electing Hitler.
